Even after reinstalling firefox, delete the whole history, firefox android starts always with google as startpage on my smartphone. I can change all the "startpage options" without any change. thanks for your support.

Hi sociald:

It's NOT clear to me what your problem is. When I start Firefox for Android 36.0.1 on a Samsung S5 running Android Lollipop 5, I see "Top Sites"

  1. Is that what you see? Is one of your Top Sites google? if it is you can delete your Top Sites by long tapping on the site and tapping "Remove". Perhaps this documentation will help? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-awesome-screen-search-web-bookmarks-and-more#w_customize-the-way-the-awesome-screen-works
  2. If the above doesn't help please tell us what tablet or phone you are using, what version of Firefox, what version of Android (Kitkat 4.4, Lollipop 5, etc) and what you did, what happened and what you expected (a screenshot would be lovely!)

Cheers!

...Roland

Hi Roland

Very strange. I didn't do anything but restart my mobile. Now as configured the "most most visited sites" occur as startpage. I don't know why it works now. But thank you for your support.

Best regards sociald
